ASSESSING ENTERPRISE FIRMWARE SECURITY RISK IN 2021
The rapid rise of firmware and hardware threats has exposed critical gaps in enterprise security, especially during 2020 when attacks targeted VPNs, exploited widespread vulnerabilities like BootHole, and expanded into firmware-level techniques. These threats impacted all layers of IT infrastructure, including endpoints, servers, networks, and supply chains. As organizations adapted to remote work, attackers took advantage of increased exposure and weak points in systems. To address these risks, enterprises must evaluate their firmware security posture by asking key questions that assess visibility, vulnerability management, and integrity controls. Strengthening these areas is essential to defend against advanced threats and ensure resilient, secure operations.
